BYE

So....

I have avoided the blog for a while...delibrately.

I got ill. unfortunately.

And due to these unforseen circumstances I had a couple of hospital visits in the US, which proceeded to me returning home for the free NHS to figure out what was wrong with me, and receive treatment.
All is well and good now i am on a treatment plan and becoming my normal if not better self...this is the good news.
The bad news is this took longer than the allowed 30 day exemption period on my VISA, and so farewell to my placement, hello, back home to my beloved England!

So...i guess...now alyssa is NOT in USA...this blog no longer survives really...um...its kinda sad, but no worries people, im happy to be home...just no wizarding world of harry potter for me!

i may make a new blog tho...

watch the space.

thanks readers!

bye bye

Family Holiday

Im sorry it's been ever so long since my last post...which was a month ago - New York <3

So this post is gonna be about the muchos fun i had with my family :-) and WELL NEEDED!

So they arrived a little late cos of silly aeroplanes and security and such like! but nontheless i was OVER THE MOON to see them!!!!
So i worked and they visited me whilst i worked to see my most lovely preshow at Shrek :-)

and then i was off work....YAYAYAYAYA!!!!!

So we went to Seaworld on what was probably the coldest day ever in florida EVER, and i had to something shameful as to put on my dads socks with my flipflops....my sister was unaware of this at first and when we visited the toilets she thought she was next to a japanese person and found my feet HILARIOUS. i dont care it was toooo cold to care!

so we went to daytona to visit one of my mams friends which was lovely, and we went to THE MOST AMAZING restuarant - aunt catfishs....best food iv eaten since iv been here!!!!! unlimited salad bar buffet type thing with EVERYTHING u could POSSIBLY imagine. mmmmm

and we went to Epcot on NYE - CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY, totally packed, and they thought it was a good idea to give everyone free horns...and they thought it was a good idea to give them to their kids.....who i wanted to kill. i actually made friends with a lil boy who was sat beside us waiting for the fireworks just to stop him blowing the horn!!!!!! it worked!n it was nice to b in england for NYE too!!!!! however it did take us 2 hours to get out the car park - ridiculous!!!! we got there at 8am, and left at 2am.....ridiculous huh?! proves my parents are too old just yet tho! and tom came with us too, hes extended family now!!!!

so on NYDay my mam made us a huuuuuge roast dinner (xmas dinner numero dos) and my housemates came and some other friends so there was tonnes of food it was immense!!!!! felt like xmas day :-)

so then we spent a night in the Portofino hotel...AAAAAMAZING, i love those beds better than chocolate :-). so we went to see Blue Man Group which was awesome again, and we ate at hard rock cafe, was sooooo good!!!!!! and the next day we went to universal and islands which was really cool and it was nice to show my family where i work n all the little facts n things i know about my new home :-)

and we went to see Avatar in Imax 3D ---- the best film ever invented...it was amazing i recommend EVERYONE to see it!!!! i also watched new moon again...the cinema was a lot quieter...but still not silent. i <3ed it!still

so we also saw its complicated which was reasonably hilarious :-)

we did a day of shopping as well....how can u avoid that in america :-)

So yeah thts about the extent of whats been happening.
